Zorro
is a free authoring tool for financial research and algorithmic trading
systems - serious systems that really work. It applies advanced
statistics, analysis, signal processing, pattern detection, and deep learning
algorithms for analyzing the markets and determining the right moments
to buy or sell.

Zorro offers features otherwise not found in consumer trading software.

Strategy development with Visual Studio™

Easy or full-scale - your choice.

Start with the step-by-step programming tutorial. Zorro's C-based
script offers a quick and elegant approach to strategy coding. It allows
easy handling of time series, datasets, vectors, or matrix operations.

Write, test, and deploy simple strategies in a few minutes with
a minimum of code. Use the included script editor and on-the-fly compiler
for quick tasks. Or create your systems and tools with full-scale development
platforms such as Microsoft Visual Studio™ with their advanced debugging
and profiling features. It's your choice. Zorro accepts projects as scripts
in C, or as compiled C++ DLLs.

Automate routine tasks by running Zorro jobs from batch
processes. Implement your own broker or data feed connections. Set up account
and asset lists with any imaginable properties. Display the trading status
online with live HTML report pages. Import or export data in binary, CSV,
or JSON formats for easy integration in other software packages.

Evaluate market situations with a wide range of regression, signal analysis,
filtering, or pattern detection functions. Or with neural networks from
top-end packages such as Keras™ or Tensorflow™. Zorro has direct access
to all functions of the R data analysis and charting software.

Amplify your trading algorithms by adding human intelligence.
Feed Zorro with market sentiment data from a multitude of sources. Process
option chains for detecting the market's opinion about the future price
trend of the underlying. Analyze the weekly Commitment of Trader's report
for determining expectations of major market participants. Evaluate order
flow data with a neural net for retrieving short-term price predictions.
Zorro provides easy to use indicator-like functions for all this and more.

Instant strategies.

Zorro includes
several ready-to-run strategies for portfolios of Forex pairs, CFDs, stocks,
ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. These Z strategies cover a large range of markets,
risks, win rates, and trading methods, and allow to quickly experience a
live trading system before developing your own strategies.

Still,
always be aware that all trading strategies are risky, all backtest results
are hypothetical, and never risk money that you can't afford to lose!

Why free?

For
private traders, Zorro
is available in a free version since its initial development was paid
for. Our sponsor believed that all people, especially in developing countries,
should understand the financial markets and participate in their profits.
Small, but regular trading incomes for anyone can take liquidity out of
the financial system and inject it back into the production cycle. This
can boost demand worldwide, reduce the divide between rich and poor, and
soften the world's economical and social problems.

In this way, Zorro is meant as an incentive to
understand, analyze, experiment with, and exploit the financial markets
with many different ideas and methods. Zorro's development is ongoing, meanwhile
funded by the user community through sponsor licenses, strategy development
contracts, and trading returns. New Zorro versions with new features come
out every few months.
